Happy Birthday Dad

Friday was my dad's 58th birthday...along with 4 other people's birthdays. His friend Mary-Ann had a huge party for everyone at her place. The guys started a huge bonfire just outside the double bay garage that kept everyone warm (for the most part). It was a pot luck so there was no shortage of good food to go around.
My dad is pretty sick with an awful chest cold right now on top of an MS attack so he has been pretty miserable lately. He didn't really want to go to the party but I think it was best that he did. He seemed to have a good time chatting with everyone, enjoying the tunes the DJ was playing, sitting by the fire, and eating all the great food.
It was a super late night for Rawley. We didn't end up leaving until about 11pm. He did get to play air hockey with a few people. He also brought his Nintendo DS and got to play on other people's IPhones. It was kind of a bummer that it poured rain most of the night, but it didn't seem to damper the party at all.

The huge bonfire. Most people use a regular car or truck rim for this , but when you are out in hick ville you must form to the hick ways. This was 4 foot Tractor rim we used. The fire was huge (after much convincing to start) and very toasty.

Happy Birthday Day! Glad we could be there to celebrate with you.
